Soon to just be Final Fantasy XIV Online if data mining is to be believed due to the fact that the story for the relaunch of the game ended literally today, but yes it's the MMO, A Realm Reborn.

I know. I did a double take too when he said it. It's too real.
Liam is actually 22?

Liam is a 22 yr old Christian Bale, if the current podcast video is any indication.
Didn't I already tell you guys about this? The l'Cie in Type 0 have absolutely no connection to the ones in 13. It's like hating on a Black Mage in one game because it was in a previous game you didn't like. Pat doesn't seem to understand that either and it's super frustrating, but at least he's not totally dismissing the game because of it.
I also told you I never played 13 or any of their related games. But the L'cie stuff in type 0 still made that game make no sense what so ever. That final chapter is just a huge exposition stuff that just flew over my head all the time.
FF15 does look like the most approachable FF story I've seen though.
-Kid is royalty.
-Coup de ta happens.
-Kid escapes with his friends.
-Goes on road trip

I thought he was 23.
Pat said in here that he was thinking about changing the BB releases to everyday instead if every weekday. Personally, I would prefer every weekday to leave the schedule more open for the other LP's.Pat lies about a lot of things, like how he completed games, about other people, etc,etc.
But I don't think he is lying about the release schedule of videos.
I think so. Thats A Realm Reborn right?
Its both 14 was broken and jank.
reborn was a re release with tweeks to everything, and I considered much better.

I'm keen on the idea of BB being their endurance run, but every weekday seems to be a more fair way to release things.

I completely agree.
I was already hyped for XV but seeing Pat and Liam play it yesterday basically left me being like HNNNNG.

Its a lot of fun to play and the story looks like its gonna be fun too. I'm glad Liam and Pat enjoyed it as much as they did. It seems a lot more laid back than typical FF and I appreciate the change of direction since I don't think FF has been like that since like 5 or parts of 9.
Obviously ignoring 10-2

Its like babies first SMT game, and I apprecaite that. It was a gateway kinda thing.
I've only played Type 0 and X when it comes to FF, and to me those plots were absolute nonsense.

Oh yes, Japanese high school simulator is very approachable. You know what is approachable?! Digital Devil Saga. You don't need to finish your Japanese classes to play that.

Its definitely worth it. Even if you didn't like Type-0, the XV demo was tons of fun.
I'm really looking forward to how hype the Bloodborne LP is going to be with Woolie and Pat being blind, I was watching the GB quicklook last night while eating dinner.
Brad is 20 hours in and STILL didn't know half the stuff Pat immediately had information on.
Poor Brad. At least he really enjoys the games. I also don't expect him to know as much as Pat considering Pat adores the souls games and looking up stuff about them.

Considering they are doing it blind, they are probably going to miss a few bosses,
also the true ending. I don't know what the ending is, but I know what I have to do for it.

I think the idea that it'll be more laid back is actually a bit deceiving, I think that's a feeling they want the games atmosphere to give you, but I don't believe it's ACTUALLY going to play out that way. Which just makes me more interested in it.

That's unfortunate. The style is right up my alley, I love it.

I liked the combat and aesthetic of type 0. I hated the story and dub. I think my patience ran out at the girl with the "foul mouth" and didn't even fully commit to saying "fuck", but "frick" instead.

The FFXV redesigns certainly look more generic than the original designs. Note that generic doesn't mean bad.

Well we know there's gonna be more than one game in the FFXV saga. I wouldn't be surprised if the first game is just more laid back to get you to connect with the characters before becoming a lot more serious at times. Kind of like the Gintama effect.

We'll see, they'll definitely miss some stuff but Pat also can't seem to resist reading BB related reviews/articles/etc.

Oh god yes, there are legit areas you can miss so I i'm interested to see how deep they go on their first try.

And yet anything Pat and Brad will say while playing Bloodborne can be replaced by any COMP song and it will be more informative to me than both their commentaries combined.

If they do miss something, I will be super disappointed. I expect nothing less that a 100% speedrun from them.Considering they are doing it blind, they are probably going to miss a few bosses,also the true ending. I don't know what the ending is, but I know what I have to do for it.
Kidding if you couldn't tell.

I don't mind them missing items and stuff, or making mistakes. I just hope they are able to do most of the boss fights.
He played decently well. But as far as information goes about the game, he was goddamn useless, and he was with Rorie and someone else, Brad regarded them as "Seasoned Souls Players"Poor Brad. At least he really enjoys the games. I also don't expect him to know as much as Pat considering Pat adores the souls games and looking up stuff about them.
Brad: Do you know if Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2 had any real connections? I never saw any connections to those in this
Others: Dunno never paid attention
I'm just like, jesus christ, you know even when Pat's wrong sometimes, it's not NEARLY as frustrating as GB's consistent blatant disregard for games.
I fully expect there to be outfits and crap like that, the old really cool Noctis Outfit will probably be in there somewhere.The FFXV redesigns certainly look more generic than the original designs. Note that generic doesn't mean bad.

I dunno, I feel like Pat might be somewhat informative.. besides the fact that they're playing blind.And yet anything Pat and Brad will say while playing Bloodborne can be replaced by any COMP song and it will be more informative to me than both their commentaries combined.

I am still considering them a disappointment if they don't go for more than beating the last boss, make save backups and shit.

He assured me last night that we wouldn't have to worry about them missing much, so there's that at least.

I know that. Brad's contribution is negative.

Also, I am happy the english dub in FF15 is pretty good for the most part from what I have heard. Ignis has a voice like honey.

Pat's not usually that bad, if he's wrong he'll eventually realize it if it's brought to his attention and be like "Well fuck me"And yet anything Pat and Brad will say while playing Bloodborne can be replaced by any COMP song and it will be more informative to me than both their commentaries combined.
Brad on the otherhand "Whatever I guess... I'm too old to care about these silly kid games, only hardcore nerd pay that much attention"
An exaggeration, but basically the attitude they're prone to getting which seems contradictory to the line of work they're in.

Play FF 12 then. I'm pretty sure it's the same VA as Balthier, one of the best FF characters ever.
I enjoyed their FFXV video. They seem to be genuinely enjoying it

This is the reason I never really went deep into giant bomb content. I never watched them when Pat claims "Jeff was a happy man, whose happiness slowly died over time", but most of them just came of as pessimistic, cynical and outright dismissive, whenever I gave their content a watch.
It's definitely better back then, even though Jeff has some shitty things to say sometimes, there is still some genuine care about (older) video games there and I find him often hilarious in his dynamic with Ryan, the others are more prone to being completely goddamn useless and dismissive in every capacity.How so?I'm getting into Giant bomb slowly but it's rough starting from the beginning of the first arrow pointing down podcast.
Though Vinnie was the only one out of them to give Demon Souls a chance when it came out even if though he didn't understand it, he still managed to finish it.
He has some fucked up views on playing RPGs in the worst way possible but as a person he seems like the nicest guy you could meet.
How so?I'm getting into Giant bomb slowly but it's rough starting from the beginning of the first arrow pointing down podcast.
As in Brad is so bad, Pat's knowledge would be negated if they were put together. But most people joke that he sucks at video games in the GB community, so it's all fun and games until the quick look where Brad is in the drivers seat comes along and blows it all up. But those don't happen that often anymore. He got a great voice on the bombcast and generally an intelligent straight man among the lunatics.
